BISMARCK. DAKOTA. FRIDAY d. 1887

sion of letter from Carter Bros, proprie-
tors of the Canton Advocate, denying that
telegram was sent from that place to the
effect that movement was on foot for the
removal Of the capital. The letter is writ
ten on authority of the telegraph operator
at Canton, and is good ground for the sup
position that the telegram was given birth
In st. Paul, where SO many able Washing
ton and foreign correspondents reside.

emerged from fierce and enervating

as exciting as was expected. AS will be

man whose fame as commander has gone
forth into the world, has been placed at the

appropriations; the tall and stately Mr..
Roger is at the helm of the insurance COM

binati0n, re-combined and cemented, is
now settling down to love feast such as
has been rarely witnessed in the territory.
